This ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette in CM1 offers a compact, affordable entry into Chelmsford living. Its bay-front reception/bedroom and generous kitchen/diner provide flexible space that’s well-suited to a first-time buyer or someone seeking a value refurbishment project.
The property requires renovation throughout — updating the kitchen, bathroom and finishes will be needed to make it move-in ready. It is leasehold and small at approximately 403 sq ft, so budget for works and ongoing lease costs. On the positive side, the flat is chain-free and comes with a private enclosed rear garden, an uncommon and valuable outdoor space for a home of this size.
Location is a key strength: excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and close proximity to Chelmsford city centre and local transport links. Nearby schools include several rated Good and two outstanding secondaries, adding long-term appeal. Be aware the wider area shows higher crime and local deprivation indicators, which should inform renovation and rental plans.
For a buyer willing to invest time and money, this maisonette is a practical, low-price route into the Chelmsford market or a compact buy-to-let opportunity. The layout and garden create clear potential to add contemporary finishes and increase value.
